When I was in Oregon last March I had a workshop at Mayfest, a day-long event for Seniors. Accompanying me was my trusty side-kick, LeRoy Lawson, who had main billing.

I’ve been fortunate to have done a bit of traveling, so I thought I would share my top ten rocks, in no special order. 1-3 I heard that the three largest ‘stand alone’ rocks in the world are the Rock of Gibraltar, Haystack Rock on the Oregon coast, and Beacon Rock on the Washington [...] The folks at Eastside Christian Church really know how to communicate!

At this time of the year you see a lot of Canada geese flying, so my first thought was Canada geese. But that thought was dispelled in a second as I [...] Happened to me again. I replied to an email message, only to realize that the message had been forwarded to me. The person who got the message was not the one I thought was going to get it. My message, well to put it bluntly, was not uplifting for the one who read it. [...] I make really good crabapple jelly! We live in a condominium, and there is only one tree on our property—a crabapple tree. We can’t really live off the land, but we do try to use those crabapples. We give the jelly away as Christmas presents. Some years we have planted peppers in pots (we [...] |
